The opening Of libraries, museums and art gal
ler1es Cd sunday Is asked especially by those whose
weekdays are fully occupied in physical labor.
The parts Of that day not devoted TO religious
exercises, can hardly be spent In more improy-
ing and elevating manner than In taking advan-
tatye OF such institutions. The man who works
hard ply sically, through the week, finds In the
elevation TO higher plane OF thought and In new
activity OF mind as refreshing rest from ceSSa-
tion OF bodily labor. The mind worker nnds rest
In change OF thought, and In activity OF body In
the open air. sunday does not mean torpor
Religious services give spiritual activity; our
parks and beautiful suburbs invite the weary
mind worker 10 refreshing walks: and our libraries
museums and art-gallerieS should give the tired
bOdy-worker the change and rest of mental
activity and development. Church goers do not
necessarily relapse into sunday sluggardS after
hours OF service, and non-churchg0ers should not
be confined 10 the saloons Of city or country as
places OF sunday resort, or be permitted only the
frivolous and often debasing forms OF Sunday IT.

APACHE COUNTY AFFAIRS

Apache county promises to become
 we'll advertised. The article recently
 published Tn the Albuquerque Citizen
 has been the subject of comment by several of the territorial papers. It has also seemed 10 cause some excitement over in our sister county. if we are to judge from the following from the Citizen
 "Recentiy Hon. R E Morrison. pro bate judge of Apache county, Arizona, son of Col Ls A. Morrison, late United States marshal of New Mexico, wrote an article for the Citizen regarding the management of public affairs in Apache county, Arizona. At the time Mir. Nor rison stated that the allegations of fraud and corruption in that county which he criticised were true, and that he was re- sponsible and could prove his asser- iions, A few days later letter was re- ceived from T, w. Johnson. Esq. lawyer at St Johns, demanding the name of the author, end intimating dire pains and penalties If the name was re- fused. Upon receipt of the letter. We wrote to MT. Morrison stating the case, and he has written in reply to give MT. Johnson the name of the author, and that he wished space to still further ven tilate affairs in that county. Mr. Morr.- son is an Irish republican, and does not scare worth a cent. We have written Mf. Johnston that If he IS injured he can have all the space he wishes for vim dication, and if this is not satisfactory, if he will come over we vii give him satisfaction in any way he desires, and If he can't come over VIC will take weeks lay-off and see him ia St Johns. In the meant me, the Citizen will send 3 reporter from the office to gather up additional facts regarding the ma.- administration of affairs in Apache county. and Mir. Johnston and his friends will get all he advertising they desire within the next three months

IRRIGATION RESERVOIRS.

The solving in this county ofthe prob lem of water storage for irrigation and mining purposes has attracted attention not only the from balance of the territory but ID other states and territories. A cor respondent of the Denver Republican on this subject says:
 ''The reservoir question IS one of the greatest importance to be considered, for it concerns not only the farmers and others interested in agriculture but It is of vital imporsnce to, citizens of Denver.
 Annually the demand for water is in- creasing and the supply is becoming more limited each year on account of the timber being cut for lumber in the mountains. Formerly the trees being so dense in the mountains the snow melted gradually and consequently we had an abundance of water during the irrigating season. Nov, owing to absence of the timber, the snow melts so rapidly that after June there is a scarcity of water, whereas heretofore 1t did not commence to thaw much before June.
 "I contend that not only Denver will be seriously affected if something IS not done to reserve the water, but all the farms adjacent to the ely will be affect ed. Now know that there are many valuable reservoirs sites near Platte canyon, and in fac, all through the Platte country; they should all be util- ized before 1t is too late.
 "I have plausible plan for storing and providing more water, which l will suggest to the Exchange, and I hope others will submit their views.
 "It is question to be seriously con- sidered. Congress will soon convene then let the Colorado people be pre- pared to call the governments attention to this inportant subject early Tn the session. Ii our state had some good, lIve workers. could we not secure large appropriation for the construction of If 90, millions of acres that are now barren in Colorado could be made verdan'. l earnestly hope that he enterprisIng oitizens of Colorado viii seriously consider this subject

q. RIDER hAccARD.

H. Rider Haggard, who has become
 a suddenly famous literary man, has youth and energy stiI Ito the credit side of
 his accoun. for be will not be thirty-two
 until the a2d of next June, and at last
 accounts he was healt y and hearty as
 mn needs -io be to turn out pure and unadulterted romance at the rate which
 he effects. He began writing books in 1882 with little volume of 8 political character relating to events then reo,., Tn South Africa. He spoke by the the book on that srbject, for when he
 was nineteen he had gone to Natal with Sir Henry Bulwer. and during the two
 succ eedlng years he served on the staff of Sir Theophilus Shepstone, the Special Commissioner to the Transvaal. He re-
 mained in the colonial service nntil
 1879, and then returned to London to marry the only daughter of the late Ma jor Margitson, of Buckingham House, Norfolk. Because of his wife, cr for some other reason, he remained in Eng land and adopted the profession of the law. becoming practising barrister of Lincoln's Inn.
 IT was while still in active practice at the bar that he hogan to write, and stuck to #, although the political pam phlet with which he first courted fame, attracted little attention. His rext book was Dawn" published in ISS4 and a year later came "The Witches Head" Neither of which was much heard of until they were recently republished on the strength of the tame that the author had gained by subsequent works. NIs first real success was with "King Solo- mons Mines,' published in 1883, which attracted the mingled condemnation and praise of the critics and won great popularity abroad and 10 less extent in this country. or this story Mir Haggard has written:
 "'Klng Solomon's Mines" was written as an experiment Tn boys books. It would be impossible for me to define where fact ends and fiction begins in the work. as the two are very much mix ei up together. may add that its suc- cess was quite unexpected by me, as the work, undertaken a, haphazard. WIS car ried out at odd hours, for the most part after long day at chambers"
 Mir. Hsggard's fame was cor firmed abroad and made in this country by his nex, work, "She." "Jess." that follow ed, and "Allan Qaartermain." that is now current, have maintained American interest in the author. IN. Y. Sun.
